JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.

There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT:

WoW....as much as you are a fervent supporter of RL around the world, to call someone an idiot for simply pointing out that the OP has been banging a Toronto Drum for 24 months in a blatant attempt to get a rise from other posters is a tad harsh, as it is also breaking the AUP in terms of name calling and Youtube....

Why would you be up for it? You don't support either club.

Because Barcelona is my second home so gives me a chance to catch up with my family whilst attending a game between 2 big rugby league clubs

OK they're not going to get a capacity crowd but, this is excellent news for Catalan and I'm pretty sure that the Wigan fans will be well up for the trip.
The Nou Camp is a superb stadium, flights to Barcelona are cheap as chips and a good time will be had by all ,plus, some great publicity for the game, with the chance for Catalan to attract some new fans.

wigan obviously the right choice to play catalan, barcelona is a football mad city, so wigans' links to the premiership and european football will make them already known

other than leeds, they are the only likely choice imo

jealous!? of course i am

If you think airlines will give 'cheap' deals in summer months on flights to Barcelona your are living in dreamland (or Chorley)


Airlines like hotels will give cheap deals if you book far enough ahead. The Catalans and the RFL need to confirm this event ASAP so as to make the early airline and hotel bookings possible.

I am not living in dreamland nor in Chorley (which I have never even visited), but instead in beautiful Sydney (for a short time).

To be honest I not sure how much cheaper you want airlines to go. Flights to Barcelona are pretty damn cheap as a standard thing.

Don't think anyone should be moaning about the travel costs
